Took the old boat out first time this year this afternoon with the family. Had prepped fluids, new gas, charged battery. Fired right up. I'm thinking we are all set for another year. I slowly start up the lake and ask my wife to see if we are peeing. She looks and we have NOTHING
I had replaced the impeller last year.
We get to a place, very slowly, where the kids can swim and I can look at the engine.
Looked real hard and the outlet was plugged with sand/dirt. Worked it a little with the ol' trust swiss army knife leather punch blade and still nothing. Grabbed a very small twig from the shore and out came a bunch of sand/dirt and
Two little WORM looking things. Mud Wasp?? or something. Water started draining out. Fired it up and she's peeing like a racehorse.
We're good for another year Knock on wood.
